Excerpt from Without a Name, and Other Poems

Without a Name.

Who has not seen, at some exalted hour,
A youth approaching there the throne of fame,
But, e'er he reached it, stricken in his power,
And laid within his grave without a name,
While men of evil deeds, devoid of shame,
Still kept to Earth and tried to find no truth,
Nor wished a good and only sought to maim?
Ah, world, why then is this? - poor, blameless youth!
Has not God taken him to shield him from thy ruth?
